Any tips for a bargain priced BLACK microwave?

Hi folks,

As it seems that this forum is now ok to use for 'I'm after' requests I am following suit! Of course please move if necessary.

I'm after a nice black microwave. Not fussed about whether it's digital, manual, what wattage/brand etc. Just nice looking and easy to use, sub £50 (sub £30 if poss! ).

I'm usually a budget buyer, having currently got a Cookworks one, but it is on the way out and as I have just had a new kitchen it looks a bit crufty now!

I am of course having a good ol' surf myself, and am not just being a lazy s0d! but if anyone has bought or seen any bargains lately then please let me know!

Wait for the sales and buy one worth more than £50 that has been discounted. Its not worth getting a really cheap one - I got through 5 in as many years (no I don't live on microwave meals!!) and have now got one worth £75. Its not a year old yet though so who knows how long it will last?!

Seaholly

I bought one the other week from Sainsburys, it was reduced down to around £35, I had to order it because it wasn't on the shelf but it was a Sanyo one. HTH.

I want a new black microwave.

But mine must be the dial type, two dials, one for temp & one for mins.

I'm fed up with bleeping digital fancy arkward ones, I want a simple (but snazzy make) one.

Good God no! You really wouldn't want to eat much more in my current microwave - there is rust on the inside! :eek:

I got this Samsung one from Empire Direct about 3 weeks ago. http://www.empiredirect.co.uk/content/products/details/index~modelcode~SAM-MW87LB~dept~mwaves~subdept~MICROWAVE~brand~samsung.htm Really pleased with it. I'd even checked out on the Which report for best buys, but finding a black one was a bit tricky.
I bought a Sanyo one from Argos a week before, but it stopped working within 24 hours. Still wasn't all bad I got to keep my £5 voucher when I got a refund on it

Thanks for your help folks - I have one on order from Additions Direct - Swan model, 800W, 2 year guarantee for £39! :beer: And with a few half price Xmas toys and a few codes, the £71 order cost me £41!!! :beer:

Just hope it does what it says on the tin!
